I've had my first quote to replace all windows and doors.

10 A+ efficiency uPVC windows with horizontal Georgian bar that'll be between the two panes.
2 uPVC doors
1 timber composite door

The fitters will not be using towers or scaffolding and are a reputable local company. They offer a 10-year insurance backed guarantee.

Approximate window widths and heights in cm (ft' in) by width descending:

177 x 121 (5' 10 x 3' 12) left and right opening, fixed middle
130 x 107 (4' 3 x 3' 6) left opening, fixed right
121 x 119 (3' 12 x 3' 11) left opening, fixed right
121 x 119 (3' 12 x 3' 11) right opening, fixed left
120 x 105 (3' 11 x 3' 5) left opening, fixed right
119 x 125 (3' 11 x 4' 1) right opening, fixed left
115 x 119 (3' 9 x 3' 11) right opening, fixed left
64 x 105 (2' 1 x 3' 5) entire opening
57 x 102 (1' 10 x 3' 4) entire opening
49 x 105 (1' 7 x 3' 5) entire opening

The quote was a tad over £7,000. I'm happy with the company but have little clue whether this price is good or not. I have two other companies in mind to quote me. There's the hassle factor though, so if this quote is not overpriced I might just go forward with it. Would love to hear what you guys think.

    The outgoing windows are wooden framed double glazing. Rockdoors are quite high spec and therefore expensive aren't they? So even with 3 Rockdoors you think the job should be up to £1000 less than quoted?

    He does . Timber frames out . double glazed can be a pain but 10 windows out and 3 comp doors in for about 6k but certainly under 7k
